About Me

I'm a stay at home mom of 4 cute kids. I love anything that has to do with homes & decorating. My husband Steve often gets recruited into helping me finish things that I start! We are making our house a "HOME" one project at a time!!

We finished our remodel at the beginning of July, but my husband is just now (6 months later) able to park his car in the garage. Our basement has been a disaster (see the pic above) until I was putting the Christmas away and did a major de-junk. So with that said, sometimes it takes baby steps, but eventually you'll get there.

I think starting off the New Year with a schedule is a great idea.

This has been my cleaning schedule for years and it really works.

You do a few specific chores each day and this helps cleaning from becoming completely overwhelming.

You can rearrange the days for what works best for you and your schedule.

Monday:

Start a load of laundry

Mop main floor

Grocery shopping for the week

Tuesday:

Dust main floor: living room, great room, hallway, entryway

More laundry

Wednesday:

Vacuum main floor: living room, great room, stairs

Clean main floor bathroom

Thursday:

My kids clean their bathroom

Dust upstairs: loft, bedrooms and railings to the staircase

Friday:

Clean master bath

Vacuum upstairs: loft, hallways & bedrooms

Saturday:

Most of the main chores are done to enjoy the day!
Or if you had a day you missed, do it today.

I agree that having clean surroundings do help clear and relax our mind. And with the help of that checklist that contain daily and weekly task, I'm sure that your cleaning chores will be faster and easier, since the tasks are already specified and ordered according to where you should start. Your post is worth bookmarking for, for anyone who needed a guide on cleaning. Thank you very much for sharing! :)
